Biden Apologizes to Mexico: Sorry for GOP Rhetoric

Vice President Joe Biden all bust apologized to Mexico on Thursday for remarks made by Republican candidates about Mexican immigrants.

“I almost feel obliged to apologize for some of what my political colleagues said,” Biden said in Mexico City alongside Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto. “It’s a heated campaign season and I just want you to know, Mr. President, that the most heated rhetoric you’ve heard from competitors for the nomination for president is not who we are as the American people. It is not the view that is the view of the majority of the American people.”

Earlier on Thursday, Biden, who was visiting the Mexican capital for econoimc talks, called the rhetoric on undocumented immigrants “disturbing” and “dangerous.” Read more at CNN.

But an apology is entirely in order here. Trump has set back US Mexican relations a generation. Hopefully either Clinton or Sanders will defeat him in November and we can put this sad spectacle to rest.
